By this Day's Mail. NEW-YORK, September 18. We learn hy accouursjuft arrived from Canada'that in Gen. Wayne's late en gagement the Indians loft between three and four hundred, he having completely surrounded them.—We learn alio that Gen. Wayne had gone back to fort Re cpvery for a further supply of pro viiions. By accurate accounts, the attacks • of the 2d and 3d upon the polls <-f the Prufiian field marshal Mollcndorf, were j very obstinate ; the enemy, who were thought to be only in small force about Pirmafens, marched on the 2d in three one against Deux-Ponts, ano ther against Meiflenheim, and the third against Ttipftadt, the last of which con fined of from 12,000 to 15,000 men ; the Prufiian advanced polls were'obliged to give way to such numbers, and fell back to Tripftadt, where the enemy were so opposed that they could get no farther on that day; they renewed the attack early the next morning, but as we had received succours in the night, they were driven off" with loss; they soon, however, recommenced the attack but were again repulsed, and at last to tally routed and pursued, to Pirmafens. They had many killed and taken, and left 10 or 12 pieces of cannon on the field, with fevcral ammunition waggons. On the 4th the corps under Generals Ruchel and Romberg, with that under General Kalkreuth, which had fallen back to Kaizerflautern, advanced again, and we hope soon to drive the enemy from Deux Ponts and Carlfberg. t Adjourned. By authentic accounts the French Rhine army has received considerable reinforcements from the Alps and the Mozelle. BERGEN-OP-ZOOM, July 10. Ycilerday several vefTels arrrired here from Holland with new cannon and ammunition for the defence of this place. The trees around the place are also cut ting down, and orders are daily expect ed to pulldown the neighboring build ings. Our garrison is not yet aug mented. On the 13th ult. at ten o'clock at night, all Naples was sensible of the MANHEIM, July 7. NAPLES, June 17. - "f fheck of an earthquake, with an hori zontal motion, which lasted aoout 30 seconds. On Sunday last the 15111, about the fame hour, the earthquake was re peated, which was followed by a vio lent eruption of Mount Vefuvins. The mountain opened in two places, towards the center of its line, when columns of black smoke, mixed with liquid inflamed matter, ifTued from each mouth; soon after other mouths were opened, and in a line towards the sea. The explosion from all these mouths, louder than thun der, mixed with sharp reports, as from the heaviest pieces of artillery, accom panied by a hollow fubtenaueous ru mour, like that of the sea in a storm, cauled all the houses to {hake their very foundation. The lavas guibing from these mouths, after having run four miles in a few hours, deftfoyed the greatest part of the town of Torre del Greco, about a mile from Portici, and made, a confiderabie progress into the sea, where it formed a promontory about ten feet above its furfaee, and near a quarter of a mile broad, having heated the water to such a degree that a lfand could not be borne in it at the distance of 100 yards from the Lava. It cannot yet be ascertained how ma ny lives have been loft 111 that city. Ma ny families arc miffing, but whether they have escaped, or are buried Under the ruins of their houfiw, is not known. Naples is covered with ashes, and every object is obfeured as in a thick fog ; but Vesuvius, though not visible, conti nues very turbulent, and more mifchief may be expected, although the lavas are all ltopped at this moment. The head of St. Januarius was carried in ptocef fion yeltcrday, and uppoled tothe moun tain by the Cardinal'••AfrfihbilTiop of Naples, attended by many thousands of the inhabitants of this City. LONDON, July IJ. From Breda we learn, that prepara tion is the word ; that the garrisons have been a little reinforced, which is more difficult than the mere supply of powder and (lores. Part of the Hano verian and Austrian hospitals have ar- rived there from Tournay and St. Ghil lian. Captain De Petron, of the Mary, ar rived at Guernsey from the Weft-Indies —in his passage he fell in with a French 74 gun {hip, deserted by the crew, and water-logged. July 16. A declaration on the part of his Ma jefly, pronouncing the objedj he has in view in prolecuting the present war, will very shortly be sent forth into cir culation. We have no doubt but it will have the inrtit beneficial efFeft. The Duke of York is coming home. July 19. The Duke of Devonshire is to be the new Viceroy of Ireland. Advice is received, confirming the report of Mr. Walter Smith, the hand some brother of Mi s. Fitzherbert, hav ing been guillotined at Natici. The of fence with which he was charged, was giving foceour to some French emigrants in Switzerland. His head was carried through the city on a pole, the bearer of it exclaiming " Quelle belle tete I" By letters from Warfawof the 18th ult, and other advices from South Prus sia of the jth inft. it appears, that Po land approaches the crilis of its fate. The combined Prussian and Ruffian ar mies are approaching Warsaw in all di rections ; and Kofciufko, with immense loss on the part of the insurgents, cut his way through the Ruffians and Pruf finns, who would otherwise have totally cut him off. The prisoners which the French took in the late affair at Aloft, detailed in the Gazette of Tuesday, are said to have fallen victims to the sanguinary decree of the Convention, which denies any quarter to the Britilh or Hanoverian soldiers. The Captain of an armed brig, that left Brest on the 14th inft. reports that, " The French are very busy in re-fitting their ships ; the officers of every de scription, from the Admiral downwa! ds, being constantly employed in that Ser vice. " Not a barge is to be seen—the Ad miials go to and from their ships in small boats, with only two or three rowers, j in order that the attention of their crews in reletting of their respective ves sels might not be interrupted. " Since the departure from thence of the wives and families ot the officers who were ordered away by the Commifiion er St. Just, because it was considered they interrupted the public business eve ry thing goes on with spirit, and the fleet was expe&ed to be compleatly rea dy for sea in about a fortnight.

Wednesday afternoon, about two o'clock, a mod dreadful lire bioke out at a Large builder's Mr. Clove's Stone- ft airs, occasioned by the boiling over of a pitch kettle, that flood under his ware house which was consumed in a It then communicated very (hort time, to a barge, it being low water, lying adjoining the prernifes, laden with fait petre andother ttores, the conflagration to spread widely in a v.*ry fhprt time. Several other vefTels and small craft, lying near the barge soon after took fire, without any poffi- bility of getting them off. The blow ing up of the saltpetre, from the barge occasioned large flakes of fire to fall 011 the ware-houses belonging to the East- India company') from wiience the salt petre was removed to the Tower (20 tons of which had been fortunately ta ken the preceding day.) When the fire communicated with the East-India ware house, the firemen difcofttinued their exertions, and pru dently withdrew from the threatening scene, as did also, by their advice, the, nearer neighbors—Soon after, the com bustible matter contained in the building blew up, with an explosion that could only be likened to the bursting of a vol cano, and which ha 3 the effect upon the surrounding houses, as fat nsL'mc-houfe, Tower-hill, and Mile-end, of the (hock of an earthquake : thole immediately adjoining were unroofed. The conflagration now spread in eve ry direction and waS greatly increased by the wind, which cowards evening, blew very frefh, and all that followed was " confufion worse confounded" by the Impotent efforts which were made to oppose what had so completely obtained the mastery ; till at length, it may be fairly said, the fire ceased for want of materials to consume, having reached an open space of ground, where the i-onnedlion of perishable fubftanccs, was broken. It was at the farther extremity of Mr. Shakefpear's Ropewalk that it flopped. It is not yet possible to ascertain the number of houses demolished : the whole extent of gronna from Stone Stairs to Ratcliff-Crofs, and from the water fide to Slepney Caiif?way, is co vered with one coufufed mass of smok ing ruin. Where the different ftreeta ran cannot be traced. Some accounts suppose so many#s a tlioufand buildings of different descriptions dtftroyed ; there cannot be so few as five hundred ; among the principal of these were the above India Company's saltpetre ware house, a laige sugar hoyfe, a glass ma nufactory, a lighter builder's and all ! the warehouses which extended along ihore. The ship deflroyed, on account of her being aground at low water, was a Barbadoes vessel. The dawn of day presented a scene most diftreffiugto the feeling mind ; all the surrounding fields were covered with houfclefs poor families that had with difficulty saved fufficient to cover them ; decrepid old mt;n and women, unprotect ed wives and famifhed infants ! What a fubjeft foi the cxercife of that charity so chara&eriftic of Britons ! It is deferring of particular notice, that one flood entirely uninjured in the very midst of this mighty ruin, and ] which we are informed, was never quit ] ted by the family that inhabits it ; af fifled by their friends they so drenched it with water, that not even a pane of glass was cracked. It is a jyod house, and well worth the labour bellowed up on it, but it appears to the fpeiSlator to i Hand by miracle. It belongs to Mr. ! Bear. The loft fuflained in confequencc of the above dreadful catastrophe cannot at prcfent be even guefied at : it mull exeeed a million sterling ! That feme idea may be formed, the warchonfes of Mr. Whitiiig contained sugars to the amount of upwards of 40,C0C1. which were entirely deflroy- ed. The fury of the fiamej was much encrepfed in their progress in London street, by the great quantity of deals in the yard of Mr. Jcfeph rfaiita. It having been repotted that the fire was maliciously occasioned, upon the most minute enquiry it is clearly ascer tained it was entirely accidental, from the caufc ab»ve mentioned. It raged with so much violence that it was with the greatest difficulty Mr. Cloves and his iervanta ckaped, one of whom was terribly burnt and is now in the London hospital ; and Mr. Cloves himfelf had unfortunately his arm broke apd is other wise milch hurt. the great difirefs the above fire oci afioned to a great number of poor families government has humanely or dered 120 tents to be immediately pitched for their accomodation, in Step ney Fields, till they can be more com fortably provided for, This occasioned Experience having taught the allies,that they cannot subjugate France by external means, now it is said they have taken up the notion that Frenchmen can be beaten only by Frenchmen.
